Chapter 213 Pampering My Wife, Freshness Lasts Only One Day
The capital city.
Mu Yanchen frowned deeply, a cigarette between his slender fingers.
He stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking up at the gray sky outside.
It looks like it's going to snow again.
She has left, seemingly silently, but she has taken his heart with her.
But how could he easily let her go? She was his Xixi.
There was a knock on the office door, and the assistant quickly walked in.
"President Mu, the virus in Country A is too powerful. All of our hospitals are almost overwhelmed."
The assistant sounded anxious.
"The existing treatments are completely ineffective, and many patients still can't withstand the pain."
"They requested that we send experts over immediately to assist them and come up with a solution as soon as possible."
"If we can get N God to participate in the research of the detoxification formula and eliminate this source of the disease, we can not only save millions of lives, but also make history for the group."
Mu Yanchen remained silent for a few seconds, his deep eyes revealing no emotion.
"Have someone send a formal invitation to Qingniao Technology."
"Also, compile all the virus data obtained from the hospital and send it over."
"We will invite N God through official channels."
"OK."
The assistant nodded and quickly left.
Mu Yanchen slowly exhaled a smoke ring, but the furrows between his brows did not relax at all.
Suddenly, the cell phone on the table vibrated.
He picked up his phone, pressed the answer button, and his unfathomable eyes darkened.
A few seconds later, the call ended.
A meaningful smile suddenly appeared on his handsome, cold face.
"Paternity test".
"That's interesting."
...
Royal Garden
When Gu Xingnian woke up, it was already dark outside the window.
It's already dinnertime.
She moved, only to find that her arms felt like they had been disassembled and reassembled, incredibly sore and weak.
That bastard, he was absolutely...
Thinking of this, her cheeks flushed red.
With a creak, the door was pushed open.
Fu Beichen walked in carrying a water glass, his handsome face beaming with pride.
He placed the water glass on the bedside table, bent down and gently helped her sit up, his deep voice hoarse with satisfaction.
"Grandpa's here to see you. Get up quickly, wash up, and get ready for dinner."
Upon hearing the word "Grandpa," Gu Xingnian disregarded everything else and jumped off the bed.
In the restaurant, Grandpa Fu Shihong sat in the main seat, looking quite energetic. Surprisingly, Murong Lan was also there beside him.
"Grandpa," Gu Xingnian called out obediently, and sat down next to him.
When Fu Shihong saw her, he couldn't stop smiling. "Niannian, Grandpa is so happy today! You have to take good care of my great-grandson. I brought the chef from home and asked him to make your best orange ribs."
Gu Xingnian felt a warmth in her heart and smiled, "Thank you, Grandpa."
At this moment, Murong Lan, who had been silent until now, finally spoke.
“When Beichen was little, an elder gave him this safety lock. I brought it to you specially, hoping that you and your child will be safe and sound.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the servant behind her handed her an exquisite wooden box.
The box was opened, and inside lay a small, exquisite peace lock, made of high-quality Hetian jade, with fine carvings, clearly of considerable value.
"Thank you, Madam." Gu Xingnian nodded her thanks, still following the rules that Murong Lan had set for her when she entered the house.
You are not allowed to call her "Mom," you can only call her "Madam."
Murong Lan felt embarrassed upon hearing this form of address.
"From now on, call me Mom, don't call me Madam anymore."
She picked up her teacup and gently blew on the steam. "You are now the eldest daughter of the Bai family, and the marriage between the Bai and Fu families is known to the whole world. If we, mother and daughter, are still so distant, wouldn't we become a laughing stock in the eyes of outsiders?"
What a "mother" she is, trying not to be laughed at by outsiders.
I don't know who it was before who tried to kick her out of the Fu family every day.
Gu Xingnian lowered her eyes and said nothing, only giving a soft "hmm".
"Come on, let's eat first! Don't let my great-grandson go hungry." Fu Shihong chuckled and immediately put a large piece of pork rib on Gu Xingnian's plate.
Gu Xingnian picked up her chopsticks, about to grab something, but her wrist suddenly went limp and she couldn't muster any strength.
"Clatter".
The chopsticks fell straight to the ground.
Oh my god, this is so embarrassing.
Upon seeing this, Fu Beichen immediately instructed the servant, "Go and fetch a new pair of chopsticks."
He turned his head, moved the bowl and plate in front of Gu Xingnian to his own side, and said in a very low voice, with a hint of guilt and coaxing, "Sit still, I'll feed you."
After saying that, he picked up the soup bowl.
It's all his fault; he didn't know his place at noon.
Gu Xingnian glared at him and squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth, "I can manage on my own, you can get out of my way."
Fu Beichen seemed not to hear her, a mischievous smile curving his thin lips as he held the soup spoon to her lips. "Good girl, open your mouth."
Gu Xingnian felt her scalp tingling from his gaze, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and take a sip.
Seeing his grandson doting on his wife like this, Fu Shihong smiled even more happily.
“Niannian, that’s how it should be! From now on, let him do all the housework. Don’t overwork yourself. You’re too thin. You need to eat more. If you’re healthy, the baby will be healthy too.”
Gu Xingnian nodded, "Okay, Grandpa."
Seeing the young couple so deeply in love, Murong Lan didn't say anything more.
After all, the eldest daughter of the Bai family is now her daughter-in-law, and she is enjoying immense prestige.
The atmosphere was just right when Fu Shihong suddenly changed the subject.
"By the way, the virus in Country A has been quite serious lately. I heard that many international organizations have sent invitations to 'Bluebird', wanting you to come and participate in the research on the antidote formula."
“Niannian, you’re pregnant now, you absolutely mustn’t get involved in anything dangerous.” Fu Shihong’s expression turned serious. “The baby is the most important thing.”
His sharp gaze swept over Fu Beichen, "Leave the rest to Beichen to handle."
Gu Xingnian nodded obediently.
She knew about this; Xia Yuan had sent her more than a dozen emails, all of them reporting on the virus situation.
Fu Beichen replied in a deep voice, "Grandpa, don't worry. I'm watching her; she won't have a chance to enter the lab."
After finishing their meal, Fu Shihong and Murong Lan stayed for a while to drink tea before getting up and leaving.
Just after seeing them off, Gu Xingnian's phone rang.
It was a call from Master.
As expected, it's still about the virus in Country A.
The two talked in the study for about half an hour. When Gu Xingnian came out again, her expression was somewhat serious.
Fu Beichen walked over with a bowl of warm bird's nest soup. Seeing that her expression was off, he put his arm around her waist.
"What happened?"
She looked up into his deep eyes and said directly, "I want to go back to Qingniao."
The man was silent for a few seconds, his eyes deep and intense. "About the virus in Country A?"
She nodded and briefly explained the situation.
"Actually, I know what the virus in country A is, and I also have a way to develop an antidote."
"I just need to let the PhDs from Qingniao do it, and I'll provide technical guidance. Besides, my master will also be there."
Her tone turned serious. "The situation is very serious. Many people have already lost their lives because of this. If it is not stopped soon, the virus may spread to the whole world and take even more lives."
"I really want to go back and see."
Within her power, she couldn't just stand by and do nothing.
Fu Beichen lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before finally making a decision.
"I need to go back to the company tomorrow to handle some urgent matters. Two days later, I'll go to Country F with you."
He squeezed her hand, his tone leaving no room for argument, "But you must promise me that you will prioritize your health and absolutely not come into contact with those sources of poison yourself."
Gu Xingnian paused for a moment, then smiled.
This was the first time she had felt that this man was so considerate.
"good."
He pulled her to the sofa and sat her down. "Come on, drink the bird's nest soup first."
She reached out to take the bowl, but he twisted his wrist, avoiding her hand.
The man picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful, and brought it directly to her lips.
One spoonful after another.
As they fed each other, their warm breaths mingled, creating a somewhat subtle atmosphere.
He looked at her lips, glistening with moisture from the bird's nest soup, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he leaned down to kiss them.
Once a man has tasted meat, he'll crave it every day.
Moreover, it's not greasy at all.
I'm impressed!
...
The Sheng family mansion was as dark as ink at night.
Sheng Weiwei turned over, wide awake.
At two in the morning, her mind was unusually clear. In the dim yellow light of the nightlight, she stared blankly with her eyes wide open.
My mind is a jumbled mess, like a ball of yarn played with by a cat, impossible to untangle, yet at the other end of the yarn, I'm holding onto the same name.
Bai Yu.
Suddenly, a very slight scraping sound came from the balcony.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she abruptly turned her head to look through the gap in the window screen.
A tall, dark figure descended from the sky and landed steadily on the balcony with incredibly swift movements.
Sheng Weiwei gasped, about to call for help.
The familiar figure had already slipped inside, closing the balcony door behind them with a backhand motion, the movement so light it was almost silent.
Sheng Weiwei's mind raced. In a flash, she abruptly closed her eyes, slowed her breathing, and pretended to be asleep.
You damn scoundrel.
He actually dared to climb through her window and sneak into her room in the middle of the night.
She wanted to see what he was really up to.
The surroundings quieted down, and she could feel his approaching footsteps, very light, carrying a unique scent.
Then, a warm, large hand gently covered her protruding belly through the thin silk nightgown.
The warmth of his palm, soothing her skin, carried a heart-warming sensation as he gently circled her palm.
Sheng Weiwei's heart skipped a beat.
She subconsciously shifted her body, moving to the other side of the bed.
She felt the hand move away.
Just as I breathed a sigh of relief, I felt a warm touch on my forehead.
A kiss.
Then the cheeks.
Finally, that warmth landed on her lips.
fed up!
Sheng Weiwei suddenly opened her eyes.
Their eyes met, and the air froze instantly.
Bai Yu's pupils contracted sharply, and he pulled away from her lips as if he had been electrocuted. He staggered back two steps, his handsome face filled with panic.
She...she wasn't asleep?
Sheng Weiwei propped herself up on her arms and slowly sat up, leaning against the headboard with her arms crossed over her chest, her eyes as cold as ice.
"Young Master Bai, what do you want to do?"
Her voice wasn't loud, but every word was clear.
"Climbed over the wall and broke into my room in the middle of the night?"
Bai Yu's Adam's apple bobbed, and he was momentarily speechless.
He opened his mouth, then suddenly blurted out a sentence.
"I've come to see my child."
Sheng Weiwei's eyes widened in disbelief.
"What do you mean, 'your child'? Bai Yu, have you no shame?"
She was almost laughing in exasperation at him.
"What do these two children have to do with you?"
A hint of grievance appeared on Bai Yu's handsome face, which was so strikingly handsome it was almost offensive.
"Only three days have passed, Miss Sheng, have you already forgotten the life-saving grace I owe you?"
"I haven't forgotten the life-saving grace," Sheng Weiwei sneered, "but what does that have to do with the child?"
"Of course they are related."
Bai Yu spoke with utmost seriousness.
"That day at the hospital, you said it yourself: after I give birth, you'll give me one."
He took a step forward, his eyes fixed intently on her stomach.
"So, one of them is mine."
Sheng Weiwei was completely speechless.
Did he really take that joke seriously?
She took a deep breath, trying to salvage the situation, "It's not even born yet, what's the rush?"
He suddenly smiled, his eyes seemingly filled with stars.
"I'm just... here to do some prenatal education for him and cultivate the father-son relationship in advance."
Sheng Weiwei felt her blood pressure rising.
"He's still so young, his ears aren't fully developed yet, he can't hear! What kind of prenatal education are you talking about!"
She pointed to her stomach, marking the boundary.
"Besides, you only occupy one at most! The other one is mine, I don't need your prenatal education!"
"That's right."
Bai Yu nodded, his attitude sincere.
"So, I only touched the one on the left. The one on the right is yours, I didn't touch it."
Sheng Weiwei rolled her eyes at him and sneered, "How do you know that the one I assigned to you was definitely the one on the left?"
"Then next time I'll touch the one on the right?" he probed.
"Bai Yu!"
Sheng Weiwei grabbed the pillow next to her, intending to throw it at him.
"Stop trying to fool me! Then why did you kiss me?"
He was quite frank.
"Building a relationship with the child's mother and making her happy can also help the fetus develop better."
He added another sentence.
"I only kissed the left cheek, the mother of the child on the left."
"You're talking nonsense!" Sheng Weiwei shouted. "You clearly kissed my entire mouth! You're just taking advantage of me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the casual smile on Bai Yu's face suddenly disappeared.
His handsome face fell, and the light in his eyes dimmed.
"sorry."
His voice carried a sense of desolation.
"I thought... you really would share one with me."
He gave a self-deprecating twitch at the corner of his mouth.
"Forget it, the Bai family has no descendants, so let me live out my days alone."
He lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes concealing the emotions within them.
“A useless man like me is just wasting the country’s food by living.”
The change in style was so sudden that Sheng Weiwei was completely stunned.
So all that carefree and unrestrained demeanor of his was just an act?
Is there such an inferiority complex deep down?
Seeing his broken state, her anger inexplicably subsided, replaced by a feeling of pity.
She softened her tone, tentatively offering words of comfort.
"You...you don't need to be so sad."
"Your condition... should be curable, modern medicine is so advanced."
Bai Yu suddenly took a step closer and looked at her intently.
"But it doesn't feel anything for any woman, except you."
His tone was pleading and tentative, "Could you help me?"
He took a step closer to her.
Sheng Weiwei was startled. What did it mean?
rogue!
